Arthur put the white porcelain cup in front of a Xia Yongqing, and then sat back opposite.He looked at the man through the hot air, he was really old, his temples were gray, and his weather-beaten face was also full of wrinkles left by the years.

Arthur looked at him, feeling strange suddenly.It wasn't until the old man raised his head, revealing those gentle eyes that shone with kindness, that the strangeness disappeared—it was still the same person he was familiar with, but he was already old.

Arthur felt a little emotional, his back straightened, and he couldn't figure out why this person used special means to find him. He had questions, so he asked directly.

Xia Yongqing showed a wry smile, "I came here this time mainly to ask you to confirm one thing." But he didn't say it directly, but instead joked about his former student, "Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like you're really sick. .”

Arthur hugged the cup and nodded awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Xia Yongqing couldn't help being amused, after so many years, the bastard back then became reserved when he saw him.He didn't go around the corner, and asked directly: "Is there something wrong with the Lion Blaze?"

Arthur froze for a moment, gave him a strange look, and rubbed his fingers unconsciously on the cup, "How do you know?"

On the day he found out that the Lion Blaze was missing, he asked for leave to go home and closed the door without seeing any guests. Probably even his adjutant didn't know about the Lion Blaze's disappearance. How did this person know?

Sure enough, Xia Yongqing sighed, "Can I see it?"

Arthur stretched out his left arm, lifted some of the clothes that were too long, and exposed his wrist, which was empty, without patterns or bracelets.

"He disappeared." Arthur felt a little complicated, "Just disappeared out of thin air."

Without any accident or warning, his closest partner just disappeared from his wrist so abruptly, without knowing when.

Xia Yongqing: "That's why you pretended to be sick and took leave?"

Putting down his clothes and retracting his hands, Arthur's expression returned to normal, "It's part of the reason." It was inconvenient for him to say more.

Knowing his difficulties, Xia Yongqing didn't ask any further questions. What he cares more about now is the Lion Blaze, which was made by him and can be regarded as one of his most satisfying works.

Putting down the cup, Xia Yongqing pinched the corners of his eyes and looked at the living room. It was spotless, too simple, and cold without the slightest breath of life. It seems that he, a disciple, should seldom go home.

Arthur: "Teacher, you haven't answered me yet. How did you know that the Lionblaze disappeared?"

Xia Yongqing smiled wryly, "I was just guessing, that's why I came here to ask you to verify."

Arthur raised his eyebrows, "Guess?"

Xia Yongqing calmed down, then regained his composure, and asked the curious Arthur: "You should have heard of the Seventh Fleet, right?"

Arthur straightened his body slightly and nodded. Of course he knew about the Seventh Fleet.He even imagined that he could be selected into that fabled fleet before, but until now, he has not received any news in this regard.

Just when he had given up, he heard the name of this fleet again from his teacher. Could it be that the disappearance of the Lion Blaze was related to the Seventh Fleet?

Xia Yongqing sighed, "I have been developing new warships for the Seventh Fleet all these years." He paused, took a sip of water, and then continued: "It was not easy to successfully manufacture such a ship, but this The warship just disappeared out of thin air under the watchful eyes of everyone."

Arthur was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be happy that he knew some secrets, or to sympathize with what happened to the Seventh Fleet, then he heard the person in front of him continue talking.

"After the warship disappeared, I tried to find the reason for his disappearance. In the process, I discovered one thing. Before the warship disappeared, it had resonated with a certain material, and that material, I was making When Lionblaze, a small portion was added."

Arthur put down the cup in his hand and asked hesitantly, "So you're here this time, yes?"

Only then did the gentle old man show a slightly embarrassed smile, and nodded to him affirmatively, "I invite you to my laboratory as a guest, and help investigate the reason by the way."

Arthur: "..."

The last sentence is the real purpose, his eyes drifted to the door involuntarily.

Noticing his small movements, Xia Yongqing added meaningfully, "You can still try to get along with them."

There is a lot of information revealed in this sentence. Arthur smiled wryly and spread his hands. It's all about this. Can he refuse?

Obviously not, of course, he didn't want to refuse, after all, it was related to his Lionblaze.

On the boundless Gobi, except for a few sporadic Yingying grasses, no other plants can be seen.

At dusk, walking in it can easily feel the unique depth and majesty.

Zhong Tian followed Lance on the rough and majestic Gobi desert, and his thinking jumped from "the desert is solitary, the long river falls into the sun" to "the sun is setting in the desert, and the sound of war is in the smoke", from camels to beasts...

Then his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly wanted to slap himself. Whatever he wanted, they had already been locked by several devouring beasts.

These devouring beasts look exactly the same as the long-tongued beast Guoguo, but their eyes are not as friendly and gentle as the latter, but with a kind of bloodthirsty cruelty. It seems that they are particularly difficult to provoke.

The lion let out a "Hey", as if he was a little surprised, Zhong Tian was about to pull Lance behind him, when he just stretched out his hand, he saw that Lance had rushed over quickly.

Zhong Tian was stunned for a moment, and seeing Lance who seemed to be fighting with those devouring beasts, he was a little worried and a little annoyed, so he yelled at the lion projection that blocked him: "Aren't you going to help?"

The lion looked at it, and stopped Zhong Tian from rushing forward, "What are you worried about, he will be fine."

Zhong Tian glared at the lion. He guessed that what the lion said would be fine, definitely meant that Lance would not lose his life because of this. As for whether he would be injured, the lion might not care at all.

As if he had seen his interpretation of himself clearly, the lion stopped in front of Zhong Tian and explained to him: "His strength seems to have increased, and he is just testing his own ability." After speaking, he asked Zhong Tian again, "Did you see him hurt the first two times?"

Zhong Tian shook his head reflexively, and then he realized, "But this time there are several!"

There was only one devouring beast in the previous two times, how could the situation be the same!

Lion: "Trust me, he can handle it. It's not too late to help when he can't."

Zhong Tian bit his lip, looked at the young man who was fighting among several devouring beasts, and confirmed that he was indeed not at a disadvantage, so he nodded reluctantly.

Am I too useless?This is the case in the last days, and they will only choose to escape.This is still the case now, when danger comes, he can only let a young man who is much younger than himself stand in front.Obviously his body is invulnerable, obviously... he should be the one to protect the boy.

I have to protect him, and I can't let this boy stand in front of me every time.

Zhong Tian looked at the young man who had just escaped a beast-devouring attack, his eyes were slightly red, and various emotions were rolling in his mind. In the end, there was only this one, which was deeply burned in his brain.

After finishing a few devouring beasts, Lance carefully confirmed that he was not injured before walking towards Zhong Tian.

He saw that something was wrong with Zhong Tian, ​​and looked at the lion questioningly. The lion shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what happened to Zhong Tian.

Then why did he look like he was being bullied?

Lance was wondering when he saw Zhong Tian take out a clean handkerchief and slowly walk towards him, so he stood there quietly, intending to ask questions later.

After carefully wiping off the blood on the boy's face, Zhong Tian took a deep breath, and his eyes finally became firm.

He sighed, seeing the boy standing obediently, he couldn't help but compare the boy's performance at this time with that just now.At this moment, Lance is like a wolf cub with its fangs closed, opening its belly to someone he trusts.

He thought, he shouldn't intervene in the boy's similar behavior. The boy has his reasons for grinding his teeth and claws. Isn't that how Lance came here before?

Lance, who has lived alone in this barren star for so long, knows exactly how to improve his strength and arm his teeth.He also didn't want this sharp young man who could quickly adapt to danger and respond even by himself, to restrain his minions and grind away his wildness.

But he also didn't want to see the boy become a lone wolf.

Zhong Tian rubbed the boy's soft black hair, and looked into his eyes, those emerald green eyes were full of inquiries, and there was still a faint worry about him deep in the bottom of his eyes.

"It's nothing," he heard his own steady voice, "Let's continue walking."

They had to hurry to the delivery point that Lance had mentioned.

But before that, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Lance, tried to make his tone look normal, and asked as if he hadn't intended it.

"Is there a river near here?"

Lance gave him a strange look, not quite understanding why Zhong Tian suddenly mentioned the river, but since he asked, he nodded honestly and said: "There is an underground river near that stronghold, and my secret hiding place is not far from there. Be far away, be careful, you can avoid those people to fetch water."

Then he saw Zhong Tian smiled with satisfaction, rubbed his hair again, thought for a while, and asked, "What do you want to ask this for?"

The Lion Projector on the side looked at Zhong Tian, ​​then at Lance, his eyes stayed on the top of Lance's head for a while, and then he guessed the purpose of Tian's question in 2 minutes, so he yawned and ignored the two people.

Zhong Tian, ​​who was asked, withdrew his hand and put the blood-stained handkerchief back into the space.

When they were in the Land of Hope before, they couldn't find a safe river at all. Zhong Tian could only use the water stored in the space to let Lance wash it.But in it for so long, even if he tried his best to save, he still consumed a lot of water.

Outside, the more wind and sand here than inside obviously made Lance more prone to dirt. He remembered that he had just washed the boy's hair not long ago, but when he just touched the boy's head, it was still soft, just... Seems a bit greasy.

So, after knowing the existence of the river and letting Lance clean it up, he couldn't help but smile, and said to the curious Lance, "I just think you should take a bath."

Lance: "..."

The author has something to say:

Lance: Disliked...

The scumbag author’s list is all about making snowmen and playing with snow, you are all worried about Tiantian’s body, but Tiantian only wants to let Lance take a full bath hhhhhhh
